The one you described sounds very clever!

This isn’t exactly a football memory but a funny one about watching sports. Now, I’m going to go back a few years …. 🙂

When my sister and I were small, we sometimes visited my aunt and uncle and cousins in another city an hour away. They had an ancient TV in their “TV room”. We’d gather in that small room with my boy cousins to watch games on that crappy black and white TV. Once in a while the TV would just cut out and the screen would go blank. My uncle and cousins would bring the picture back by stomping on the floor! My sister and I thought it was so funny. My uncle was vice president of engineering for a large appliance manufacturer and you’d think they’d have a better TV, but they only ever had this one!
